I use this tool to solve the problem.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server

http-server -p 8081 -P Http://{host}:{port}

and use Xcode run app project.

Why couldn't you have a UIViewController with a UITextField that contains the URL or IP you want to use and a UIButton on it that saves and updates this, then store the result in UserDefaults and pull from that for a URL every time?

There are also other options like Firebase Remote Config, which I would use instead of the above if you have many variables you'd want to configure on the fly like this.

If you're just trying to swap the IP/port as you move to a new network, I'd still just store it in UserDefaults and make a page to update it, though.
